Potholes come in all shapes and sizes, causing significant vehicle damage yearly and even contributing to fatal accidents. They form when water seeps through cracks in the asphalt, expanding and contracting beneath the surface over time. This process weakens the pavement, and as traffic passes over these areas, the asphalt breaks down further. FLA1 Paving can address these issues efficiently to prevent further damage.
If it is a minor repair we can add in sufficient material and compact for a flush finish.
Surface Patching
If damage is below the surface and into the asphalt base course we will mill the asphalt 2-3 inches, and then install new asphalt.
Mill Repair
This would require us to completely remove the asphalt to the aggregate base course or native sub-grade. New material will be installed.
